We’re Poor People Your Honour - Poem by Miroslava Odalovic

We get some bones the dogs didn’t wantWe know what you’ll say so just don’tWe get some nice music from your studioAnd really nice soc-vision video

Economically speakingWe are the secondary consumersScattered around different containersUnderbridge death entertainersAnd it’s really not our faultWe are sort of under defaultOn your roaring statistic scalesOf whatever remains or prevails

Note: ‘secondary consumers’ is a viable economic term for people who use used-up products
